Wait, it gets better. Elena Cardone, who posted the Trump gofundme, is rich af. She could just give Trump the money - she and her husband are worth a supposed $4 billion. A billionaire asking people to donate $20 to get another billionaire out of a hole. That's peak grift, right there.
Which is just as well, because hydrogen mostly comes from fossil fuels today.
I can maybe see a case for hydrogen for fleet vehicles, if the operators actually have hydrolysis plants powered by renewables, because it allows for lighter and cheaper vehicles compared to BEVs, but retail hydrogen is not viable.
The Hydrogen Insight investigation uncovers concerning trends in hydrogen fuel cell vehicle (FCEV) registrations across Europe. Despite efforts to expand hydrogen refuelling infrastructure, most European markets are seeing stagnating or declining FCEV registrations. Here are the key findings:
Data from European countries with hydrogen refuelling stations (HRS) shows declines or flat registrations in FCEVs, except for three nations. Germany experienced a drastic 70% drop in new FCEV registrations in 2023. France, the UK, and Czechia are exceptions, with over ten FCEV registrations per HRS. Despite having many HRSs, Switzerland and the Netherlands also saw FCEV registrations decline.
France saw a 56% increase in FCEV sales, driven by strategic initiatives.
The UK witnessed a remarkable 261% increase in FCEV registrations in 2023.
Legislative mandates in the EU aim to bolster hydrogen infrastructure by 2030.
Despite challenges, optimism remains for future growth in the hydrogen mobility sector. While FCEV registrations face hurdles in Europe, collaborative efforts and legislative support pave the way for a promising future in hydrogen mobility. 🌱🚗
@arstechnica This is a pretty insignificant restriction. You can bet your bottom dollar that this sleazy grifter is making use of her jail time to come out fighting with her next scam.
She needs to be barred from running or owning any part of any business - she mustn't be allowed to move any further than burger flipping or janitor responsibilities in her entire life.
David Cameron 2018: " ... tells friends he’d like a return to frontline politics, and fancies Foreign Secretary (Tom Newton-Dunn, Times) ... because he is “bored shitless” (HuffPo)
David Cameron 2023 (at Foreign Affairs Select Committee today):
"Q: Why did you take the job?
Cameron says it was because he believes in public service."

Sorry Bernard, I can't possibly be expected to remember all the grifts I've got going on before I pop in for a chat. Give me a minute to chuck it all in an offshore trust via a shell company owned by my daughter's best friend and I'll get back to you, k?
What an absolute shitehouse. #UKPolitics#GriftersGonnaGrift
Question: do their accountants give them lessons in how to grift, or is it something they pick up after they get the peerage? 🤬 #UKPolitics#GriftersGonnaGrift
Everyone ready for a Friday afternoon game? Let's spin the wheel of "which Tory has a relative/friend/person they want a job from after the election who runs a company that deals with potholes"?
EIGHT. BILLION. POUNDS. #UKPolitics#GriftersGonnaGrift
Justin Sherman, Hayley Barton, Aden Klein, Brady Allen Kruse, and Anushka Srinivasan dive deep into the multibillion-dollar data brokerage ecosystem that gathers and sells data from service members, veterans, and their families.
I figured after the Tres Commas...err sorry...Tesla Tequila turned out to just be regular decent tequila with an inflated price people would have learned. But not the Musk Stans. Turns out they are trying their hand at beer. Of course he has to add "cyber" to the name because that's innovative. The price is way higher than normal beer but apparently it tastes like skunked malt liquor but with bottling that doesn't even pass that muster. Too funny. #ElonMusk#tesla#beer#GriftersGonnaGrift
